William Glenn Boyd was executed in Alabama on March 31, 2011

William Glenn Boyd, 45, was pronounced dead at 6:23 pm (2223 GMT) at a state prison in Atmore, Alabama, 23 minutes after being given a lethal injection. He had been on death row for 24 years. His lawyers had filed a last-minute appeal to the US Supreme Court, arguing that the judge violated state and federal law by imposing a death sentence after the jury called for sentencing Boyd to life without the possibility of parole. The appeal was rejected. William made no final statement. May he rest in peace.
